    Hi all
    Just looking for advice on different brands of oil, fuel & air filters, which brand would you recommend of the following : Mahle Original, Bosch,
    Coopers Fiaam, Febi Bilstein, UFI & Herth&Buss
    Will be ordering on line, but not sure which brand to go for.
    (Vehicles are Toyota Land Cruiser 3.0 ltr, Audi A4 1.9 TDI & Ford Focus Diesel)

    (Big difference in price e.g. Mann air filter for Land Cruiser is €43.00, a Herth & Buss is €14.00 ! )

    Thanks,
    M.

    For the Land Cruiser I'd recommend Blueprint. For the Audi Mahle or Mann but most of what you have listed are decent.
    If the focus is a 1.6tdci UFI will be the fuel filter, for the oil filter I like the Purflux ones for their fit.

    There is only 3 companies worldwide that manufacturer filters and put the various trade names on each from what I remember so there is little difference in the majority of them. However, some vehicles prefer one of the three.

    Go to a dealer with your VIN (chassis) number, you will get the correct original one.
